Angela
Bajkova (Chelyabinsk, Russia)
I'm a single father of 2 children, white, Canadian, 34. I was contacted through Friendfinder.com. I figured it was probably a scam because her profile was American with no picture, but said she reads Russian Literature and had little or no personal information, but was a gold membership (expensive). Her first email I ignored, but she sent it again, and we emailed back and forth for a while. By the 5th email she was asking for money. $200 canadian for a visa. Her email address was angeela@mail15.com I won't bother including the emails since they're identical to others I saw on the site. Here are her pictures though. I won't bother contacting the website. Futile. I don't think I'll contact her either, just delete her emails for a while, until she gives up. I'm sure glad I found this website though. Hard to believe I almost fell for it. Neil
  
Ekaterina
Bastrakova & Anna Milchalova
Hello my name is Steven, I live in the United States. I was contacted by "Ekaterina" from a yahoo personals. She gave me her email address. I was reading about scammers when I chanced upon your case #248 (Doug) from June 27th. The letters, photos and even friends "Frank and Natasha" were exact word for word. When she first contacted me I told her I was too old for her as I am 48 and she is 29. She did not respond to our age difference, rather she sent the same letters Doug received. She gave me the same address for her at Kazan, 467000 street Dekebristov flat 62. As 2 weeks went by she told me of her great love for me and wanted to see me here. During this whole time I was really concerned she was not for real as people do not "fall in love" over an internet in 2 weeks and want to come see you. I am just wanting to add another almost Scammed concerning Ekaterina Bastrakova. One more thing...the photos she sends where exactly the same as Doug's and even the story of the hair color just for me. I discovered that Anna Michalova is also using the same letters as Ekaterina Bastrakova...they are to the letter exact. So maybe it is one or more people attempting to scam men for money. I wanted to bring this to your attention as I was curious as to whether she was the same woman (group). Maybe it is the police officer in me, but please add this name as an "aka" to Ekaterina Bastrakova. Thank you for your service that you provide. It has saved me money as I did not send money because what 29 year old girl would want a 48 year old man...doesn't add up if you use common sense. Sincerely, Steven. P.S. here is a photo of the girl, she will originally appear as a brunette then tell you she changed her hair for you. She first appeared as a brunette when writing to me. Then she changed her hair color "for me". Guys, remember, if you are 29, would you seek out a 48 year old. NO! You want someone in common, interests, etc. Anna and Ekaterina use the same letters, and do not respond to your questions...it is like they do not read your email...that is a tip-off. Thanks again for your service, Steven.

Chebahuyk (Kazan, Russia)
I'm a 35 year old father of two from the U.S. I was a member on the Singlesnet.com site and I saw a girl that I liked and I sent her a flirt. Well I didn't get a reply for a couple of months. Then one day While visiting the site I get 3 flirts on the same day from a user going by the alias "lenachik". So I respond to her flirt and she gives me her email address as: lenachik@mail.ru. So we started corresponding and I really took a liking to this girl. Sorry to say it was your typical Visa and Airfare scam setup. I had know knowledge of this type of illegal activity so I was caught way off guard. I wanted to know a little about the city she was from so I did an online search on the city of Kazan, Russia. Well the first three or four that came up on the list was the name: Russian Scammer Alert- Alena Borisova from Kazan Russia. So I clicked on this link and sure enough it was the same girl with a different name. I was very disappointed thats who she was. I didn't mention anything to her about knowing she was a scammer but she was already telling me she loved me. And she had a friend who worked at a travel agency and she could get her a tourist Visa for $1250.00 usd. She told me she already started the paperwork and all she needed was the money to get it done. After this request I didn't know what to respond with. So I didn't write her back. So she sends me an e-mail but when I open and start reading it. I realize she's writing to some other guy who has already sent her visa and airfare money and flowers. When I confronted her about this she gave some lame story how some other girl used the same computer she uses. And she sent me her message by mistake. Why does this other girl use her name also? Well
here's the letters that I saved to give you an idea.
The last letter she wrote me she told me that she loved me more that anything. But she would be unable to write me anymore. She said I will always be on her mind and in her heart. I did inform the agency where we met and they promptly removed her profile. Thanks, Jim from USA

Elena
(Brest, Belarus)
I'm a 34 year old professional single male from Pittsburgh, PA. I
received an e-mail (she contacted me first) from either Date.com or Friendfinder.com...I'm sorry, I don't remember which it was. I wasn't familar with the scamming of men going on, so my original thoughts were more along the lines of a woman who was desperate to get a husband within the United States, and therefore US citizenship. When I started to think I was being scammed was when SHE made the mistake...she addressed an e-mail to "MARK", which is not my name...I questioned her about it, and she claimed it was from a movie she watched the previous night and she made a typo...yeah right. Then I started to search the Scam sites and found out that the letters I were getting were quite similar to other scammers from the Russian republics: She claimed to be a graduate of the Brest Pedological University (I couldn't confirm it's existence); she claimed to do all her e-mailing from an Internet Cafe; she never wrote on weekends, but every day on weekdays; and she claimed to have a sick grandmother in Russia. She also claims to be a teacher of English to 14-17 year olds in Brest, Belarus. A few days ago she claimed she wanted to come visit me this summer. I knew the old "Visa and Tickets" scam was upcoming, so I confronted her about this and told her basically I would help pay for any future trip and even help repay her AFTER she made the trip over here...this is the response I got the email below. I then hit her with comparisons to other scammers - including that her home address was just a few digits off from another scammer posted on various websites. Since then - surprise! - I haven't heard a word from her. Fortuntely, only my time was invested in this relationship...I didn't lose one cent to this con artist. I've attached the numerous pics she sent me...anyone getting these pictures from a girl claiming to be the "real deal" should beware! I still wonder about "Mark" out there and if he's seen the light yet!
Letters:
Hello, my dear [NAME DELETED]!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to hear from you again. Though I'm not in a very good mood today, but your letter makes it better. You see that my last letters are quite serious and to the point. I have become about our relations now as we have learnt about each other quite enough to make some conclusions. Just from the beginning we have been expecting something definite and decisive for our lives. The matter is I've got to know the prices of my trip to you. To tell the truth, I'm just frustrated. I don't know what to do. It turned out that it is very expensive for me. I realized that it may cost me much to get to you, but I didn't know that it would be so much. I was really shocked. I had some money saved, but it is not enough even for a one way ticket. Oh, it's really terrible! I was dreaming about you, my dearest, about my trip to you and about our first meeting. But now I don't know if it ever comes true.... I'm trying to find someone to lend me these money, but I don't think any of my friends has such a tremendous sum of money. I will need much time to save enough money for the trip. My
salary is only 87$ USD, so it is not real for me to pay for my trip to you, may be in some years. Perhaps form side it is only a hope to be with you. I am too weak to cope with all this... I know it is very sad, and I just hope I'm not breaking your heart, my darling. Because my heart is already broken. What should I do now? I don't know.... Please, don't be offended with me. I don't want to hurt you [NAME DELETED]. I know how you feel about me and how much you want to see me in person. Please, believe that my desire to meet you in person is even stronger now, but I just don't know what to do...I can't ask you about financial support, still it is my problem - HOW TO COME TO YOU??!! Of course my dear [NAME DELETED] I understand that it's rather difficult to find a good friend, but dear if your heart says that you can believe me, why you have so many doubts, and how your friends can be sure that you scammed?? As for me I can ask them only one question:" Have they got such experience? "So if they say "Yes", you can also laugh at them, but if they say "No", why they try to spoil your life!!! It seems to me that every person has a right for Happiness and as for me I don't let anybody here to interfere in my private life!!! And what's more as for me I think that real friends never laugh they always try to help when you are in trouble, and joy with you when you are happy. Perhaps, I am mistaken, and it is our mutual concern, and only together we will find the way-out, I need to know your opinion on this serious step. It is very warm and sunny here, but today it doesn't please me.... With all my love, Lena.
